Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice and thank you for purchasing one of our appliances. This
practical, modern and functional appliance is manufactured using materials of the highest
quality which are subject to strict quality control checks throughout the entire manufacturing
process. The appliance is meticulously tested to ensure that it meets your demands and
produces perfect cooking results.
Do not remove the appliance from its protective packaging until it is installed in the unit.
Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding to install and use the appliance.
The information contained in these instructions is essential for the correct operation of the
appliance and, more importantly, for your safety.
The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured using only the materials which are
strictly necessary to guarantee efficient protection during transport.
These materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the environmental impact. You can also
contribute to caring for the environment, by following the advice below:
- dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling bin
- before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you disable it. Contact your local authority
to find out the address of your nearest recycling centre to dispose of your appliance
- do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a sealed container and take it to an
appropriate collection point or, failing that, place it in the rubbish bin (it will end up in a
controlled dump; this is probably not the best option, but it will avoid contaminating ground
water)
IMPORTANT:
In the unlikely event that the appliance should be damaged or not meet your expectations
in terms of quality, please inform us as soon as possible. For the warranty to be valid, the
appliance must not have been tampered with, or used inappropriately.

Gas burners
Operation
There are indications to show which burner each control
knob operates. Fig. 1.
It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts
and pan supports are correctly installed for the
appliance to work correctly. Fig. 2-3-4.
Switching on manually
1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the required setting.
2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter,
matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.
Switching on
automatically
If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition
sparkers):
1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.
While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are
produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer
necessary to press down the control knob).
2. Turn the control knob to the required setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off
setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and
hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).
Warning! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite,
switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door.
Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the
burner on.

Safety system
Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety
system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the
burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this device
is active, switch on the burner as usual and, without
releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly
for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
Power levels
The progressive control knobs can be used to control the
power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

10
Warnings
It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate
a malfunction; they will disappear in time.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them
periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind
that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious
impacts.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off
the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight
it for at least one minute.
Suitable pans
Wok pan A wok is a cooking vessel originating in China; it is a kind
of deep, round, lightweight pan with handles and a flat or
concave base.
Food can be prepared in various ways in a wok: it can be
stewed, stir fried, cooked on a low heat, pan-fried or
steamed. It could be said that woks serve as both as a
saucepan and a frying pan and, owing to their shape and
size, they can be used to cook quite large ingredients.
When cooking with a wok, heat is diffused more uniformly
and gently; the intense heat which accumulates means
that food takes less time to cook and also requires less
oil, making it one of the quickest and healthiest ways of
cooking.

Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save energy
and prevent pan damage:
Use pans which are the right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame
should not touch the sides of the pan.
Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on
the hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick, flat base.
Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is
properly fitted to avoid wasting energy.
Always place the pan right over the burner, not to one
side. Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on the burners near the control
knobs. These may be damaged by the very high
temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on
the burner.
Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight
on it.
Make sure that the pan supports and burner covers are
correctly positioned before using the appliance
13
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with
soap and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner
parts once they have cooled down. If any bits are left
(overcooked food, drops of grease etc.), however few,
they will become stuck to the surface and more difficult
to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for
the flame to ignite properly.
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on
the pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water
and scrub with a non-wire brush.
Alternatively, the pan supports can be put in the
dishwasher. Use the dishwasher manufacturer's
recommended detergent. If the pan supports are very
dirty, they should be cleaned previously.
Do not put the burner caps in the dishwasher.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that
these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and
the pan support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely.
Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start
of cooking may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the
burner covers are correctly placed on the burner flame
diffuser.
Unsuitable products
Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may
scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp
objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the hob.
Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.
Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp
implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food
from the hob.
If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never
use a knife, scraper or similar to clean the point where it
joins the metal.
Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to
clean the point where the glass meets the burner trims,
the metal frames or the glass/aluminium panels, if fitted.
14
Maintenance
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will
save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and
vegetables will scratch the glass surface.
Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar which
may have spilt, should be cleaned off the hotplate
immediately, using the glass scraper.
Faults
Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved.
Before calling the Technical Assistance Service, bear in
mind the following advice:
